How to Be Fruitful During Hard Times

When we are fighting tooth and nail, or when we have difficulty concentrating, we may turn to others for help. We may even wish we had a hero to help us. Well, today here is some advice for you. 

Turn ourselves into our own heroes.

When we make ourselves heroes, we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose. For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do. In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose. 

Write out our tasks and ideas.

In stories, heroes also have tasks, which they want to finish, and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well. With clear tasks and ideas, events. in our life no longer seem to be separate events. There's just a lot of value in having tasks and ideas.

When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them. 

Have small goals within a larger goal.

As we know, the hero's journey is not a one-time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life. Our life's journey is ongoing and ever-changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.

A. Learn from heroes in stories. 

B. Know our strengths and weaknesses. 

C. We often live a life without purpose. 

D. They become part of our larger stories. 

E. So have small goals that we can measure in some way. 

F. We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes. 

G. Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways. 

Dunhuang Academy together with Huawei launched a brand-new technology-drive n tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes on the evening of April 

8. Using Huawei's newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.

Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Acadcmy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei's latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals（壁画） outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information yisitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.

The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work. 

The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang's study findings, high-resolution images of the site's murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.

In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better. 

Not Even Wrong

My eight-year-old son, lack, is a boy with autism（孤独症）. Even though I always hear from others that he is very bright and he is making enough progress to meet goals, I am still anxious walking into their parents' meetings.

Last fall's parents' meeting was even worse for me. I noticed Jack making a great effort to keep up with others. Some parents watched Jack and whispered（窃窃私语） and no children were willing to play with him. I started to see the social divide between Jack and his peers（同龄人） widening.

After the parents' meeting, his teacher spent long time talking to me. She told me that it was getting more difficult for Jack to meet goals just because he was bright. Some teachers and students always complained（抱怨）about Jack's actions. She also advised me to think about whether the normal class was the best setting for him. Hearing these words, I was very upset.

Then she blew my mind. She showed me one example of Jack's works and said,"I didn't know how to grade this. It's not oven wrong, but it's not right. "I grasped when she said"not even wrong",which is the name of one of my favorite books on autism, by Paul Collins. The book says a girl whose idea is so far off base but it is not even wrong. It perfectly describes autism and it perfectly describes Jack.

In his book, Paul Collins wrote,"Children with autism are like the square pegs（钉,桩）. Hitting a square peg into a round hole is hard work. What's worse, it's destroying the square pegs. "

As a mother of a boy with autism, I want to help find more square holes. I want this world to be a world where it is okay to be a square peg without having to pretend to be round. We have been hammering（锤打） square pegs into round holes for a long time. Now we should put down the hammers. And I hope that some of those kids told their parents. And I hope that some of you read this and tell your kids. And I hope that we, all of us together, CAN change the world. 

Red Tourism Sites in Shanghai

The year 2021 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Many Chinese people are planning to visit red tourism attractions during their free time. The following are some red tourism sites in Shanghai. 

Former Site of the Editorial Department of New Youth

Revolutionary magazine New Youth, which created the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement, was established by Chen Duxiu in Shanghai in 1915. The editorial office moved to Beijing in 1917 when Chen Duxiu was head of liberal arts at Peking University but moved back to Shanghai three years later.

Former Residence of Chen Wangdao

This three-storied building was the home of famous scholar and educator Chen Wangdao. In 1920, Chen completed the first Chinese translation of The Communist Manifesto(《共产党宜言》). He also served as President of Fudan University from 1952 to 1977. 

Address: 51 Guofu Road, Yangpu District

Huangpu Wharf（码头）

Huangpu Wharf in Yangpu District was the place about 650 Chinese students who headed to France from March 1919 to December 1920 to further their studies. They included Zhou Enlai, later the first premier of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Deng Xiaoping, later the leader of the PRC.

Address: 32 Qinghuangdao Road, Yangpu District

The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China

The two-storied building was completed in 1920 as the residence of CPC founding member Li Hanjun. On July 23, 1921, thirteen members held their first national congress of the Communist Party of China here, marking the birth of the Party.

My mom is a world class chef, at least in my eyes. She is capable of the most dangerous cooking crafts, ranging from southern to northern Chinese cuisine, spiced with some Western influences.

As her daughter, I felt it a responsibility to use this time living at home to learn a few family dishes. I grew up watching my mom spin in the kitchen and I dutifully ate all the remainders. It seemed that Chinese cuisine was full of flexible rules and the ways could be dangerous and thrilling. It's about time that I should stir（搅动） my appetite for cooking and not just for eating.

I was starting to cook at the not—so—tender age of 18. I could actually pull off a few Western dishes in fashion, But Chinese food was a whole new scene. I stepped into the new world with some great fear. Ahead of me was-a war of massive mission cutting, frying, chopping, HOT OIL. BURNING. But at least I figured I might find some cooking genes.

We began with a simple but heart y Chinese noodle dish: the egg and tomato noodle with green onion. With my mom's excited looks, I pulled over my apron（围裙）. The beginning of the lesson started off smoothly enough. I washed the tomatoes with great expertise. I proceeded to wash the eggs.

It started getting heated when I was separating the egg yolks from the egg whites. It was quite depressing. It took a good 10 minutes before the mission was completed. The next step was beating the eggs with just a small amount of water. This wasn't too bad. Even cutting up the tomatoes wasn't too difficult.

The worst part was to come — the eggs frying in a pot. I'm deadly afraid of hot oil. I danced around nervously, waiting for the oil to get to the right temperature. "See if the oil is ready," my mom asked. I gave her a question mark. She sighed in despair, "Go put your hand over the oil."

"You want me to dangerously drop my hand over the hot oil?" I repeated unbelievably.

Eventually, I placed my "masterpiece" on the table.

Dear Mr Mark,

Yours, Lihua

Martin Strel swims with a knife （fasten） to his right leg—in case he meets sharks and other （dead） sea life in the world' wildest waters. 61-year-old marathon swimmer has announced the （tough） challenge of his life: a

10.000-mile-around-the-world journey on water （draw） public attention to the increasing water （pollute）. He aims to circle the globe in about 450 days, passing through oceans, rivers,  （canal） and other bodies of water in more than 100 countries. He will swim about 5 to 12 hours each day, depending on the weather. A boat will go  him and offer emergency support and space for small breaks.

Since 2000, Strel （swim） the entire length of five rivers in China, America, etc. Strel will not be alone in the water. He says he welcomes  is interested in joining him for parts of the route.

Little Oliver was Mason and Rebecca's miracle child. Rebecca suffered three miscarriages（流产） before Oliver was born. When they were still in extreme 1 , Rebecca accidentally found the little boy never reacted to any sound. After examination it was confirmed that Oliver was born 2 .

Facing such a blow, Mason and Rebecca never felt 3 . A few weeks later, Oliver got his first hearing aid. Despite several 4 , Oliver could at last hear! Rebecca and Mason were delighted.

Three years passed, and it was time to send Oliver to 5 . But the first day Oliver returned home 6 ."I don-don't want to go to school... I have no friends..."

One day, Rebecca and Mason were called to the school, where Oliver's teacher, Sophia told them Oliver never 7 with his classmates. He was afraid that his classmates would 8 him over his deafness. Though Sophia talked to him again, he was 9 to communicate.

Rebecca and Mason told her their son was 10 for friendship inside' Sophia decided they had to do something to help Oliver out of his 11 . They made a plan and put it into action on his sixth birthday. Oliver 12 his classroom and found it decorated with balloons. He was surprised and sat in his chair, 13 what was happening. Suddenly, all his classmates marched inside. They all wore colorful birthday caps and smiled at him. Oliver's eyes rose with tears as he watched them sing a happy birthday song in 14 . They had learned sign language to surprise the birthday boy and make him feel 15 . Oliver was touched. It felt like heaven to be surrounded by friends.

A robot with a sense of touch may one day feel "pain"， ‘both its own physical pain and sympathy-for the pain of its human companions. Such touchy-feely robots are still far off, but advances in robotic touch-sensing are bringing that possibility closer to reality.

Sensors set in soft, artificial skin that can detect both a gentle touch and a painful strike have been hooked up（连接） to a robot that can then signal emotions, Asada reported February 15 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This artificial "pain nervous system"， as Asada calls it, may be a small building block for a machine that could experience pain. Such a feeling might also allow a robot to "sympathize" with a human companion's suffering.

Asada, an engineer at Osaka University, and his colleagues have designed touch sensors that reliably pick up a range of touches. In a robot system named Affetto, a realistic-looking child's head, these touch and pain signals can be converted to emotional facial expressions.

A touch-sensitive, soft material, as opposed to a rigid metal surface, allows richer interactions between a machine and the world, says neuroscientist Kingson Man of the University of Southern California. Artificial skin "allows the possibility of engagement in truly intelligent ways".

Such a system, Asada says, might ultimately lead to robots that can recognize the pain of others, a valuable skill for robots designed to help care' for people in need, the elderly, for instance. But there is an important distinction between a robot that responds in a predictable way to a painful strike and a robot that's capable of approximating an internal feeling, says Damasio, a neuroscientist also at the University of Southern California. A robot with sensors that can detect touch and pain is "along the lines of having a robot, for example, that smiles when you talk to it," Damasio says.

"While that's an interesting development, it's not the same thing as a robot designed to express somesort of internal experience," he says.

I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road, I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away, I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.

Last May, I met Paul, He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China, He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao （the Southern Silk Road）， the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and. the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.

I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.

We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us: some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some. spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.

Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.

Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked, with Paul, I came to a realization, Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet, A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures.
